“The temperature of Mumbai is comparatively better than other
western regional states. But the fluctuation in temperature is a concern. If
there is a long span of days when the temperature is above 27 degree Celsius,
then it affects the fertility in men as the sperm count drops,” said Dr
Suchitra Pandit, gynecologist and obstetrician, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani
Hospital. Addressing the concern, Dr Hetal Parekh, consultant fertility
physician, from Hiranandani Hospital said, “We have seen that in winter months,
men are more fertile than in summer months due to the difference in
temperature. So, if winters also become warmer, the fertility in men will be
adversely affected thus resulting in low reproduction rate.”
